Consol Time and Acute Kidney Injury in Robotic-assisted Prostatectomy

In the researchers' words

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is the gold standard surgical technique in prostate surgery. Many Robotic-laparoscopic surgical techniques also require the intraoperative deep Trendelenburg position and intravenous fluid restriction during surgery. However, the possible side effects of the deep Trendelenburg's position and the fluid restriction on the cardiovascular and renal systems during surgery are unknown. Although the Trendelenburg position is a life-saving maneuver in hypovolemic patients, it also carries undesirable risks. Long console time may contribute to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) by prolonging the Trendelenburg time and the fluid-restricted time. In this study, investigators aimed to demonstrate the effect of console time on the development of AKI. Investigators also aimed to determine the hemodynamic risk factors that cause the development of AKI in patients monitored with the pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM).
